My guess is that Lin got a call from Unsworth where he was told there is no ducking way that I am going through that again, don't you dare file for a retrial.

Yes! To me this is a very interesting question.
Perhaps Sir Unworth, MBE, simply does not possess the werewithal to come up with sufficient compensation that may be granted for his opponent (just to pull a number out of thin air, 190 million dollars?
) and can be expected to sue his counsel for reimbursement of the remainder, which said counsel is now desperately trying to check in the bud? Or perhaps said counsel is worrying that he might get sued anyway for bad counseling or something?
Or maybe ditto does not want to finish a legal carreer as one of the biggest losers in the annals?
Or, as you subtly hint, are there perhaps persons unknown in the wings of this drama, wishing to stay behind a veil unpierced?
A losing counsel seems to gain nothing positive here, anyway.
Perhaps time will tell.
After the verdict, Vern said he wanted to move on, so maybe he's also said to drop it. Plus the court awarding costs to Musk is rather significant.
I can imagine Musk's lawyers giving Lin a call over the weekend at "the lake" and making a sensible gentleman's agreement - go away and we won't pursue.
After all, at the end of the day both Vern and Elon were in the wrong and it should have ended after the first apology. So to be honest I view this as a positive result for all parties as Vern's reputation got cleared out too.
That's possible. But I think the deterrence value of obtaining legal fees here is very high. Shows "millions for defense, not a penny for tribute."
Has anyone a way - other than my going to RMac's twitter feed, which I am not going to do - to show me and others what the missing lines are between the bottom of the first and the top of the second column?

lin wood's letter was posted here i think: Letter to the Editor: Lawyer for Man Who Sued Musk Claims 'Justice Worked' Despite Defense Verdict | The Recorder
Their trial leader knew but did not disclose to them that the quest was not about money - if we were able to pull off the impossible and beat Goliath in his backyard, many other battles over years would have to be fought to collect the money, if the result was about the money. The final decision to expend the money, physical, and mental health, sacrifice of family, and personal wishes was not about money. It was about the pursuit of truth for Mr. Unsworth in a court of law to finally, fully, and forever clear his good name from the impact of anyone who thought Mr. Musk's comments were factual. The decisions and efforts of Mr. Unsworth's lawyers that followed were undertaken in the finest traditions of our profession. Those decisions and efforts were made in the pursuit of truth, not in the pursuit of money. The practice of law is a profession, not a business.

Well at least you made it searchable... I was just lazy and just posted linked to the pictures.
The more I think about it the more I feel like the court case and subsequent result was the best for all involved.
Image you're Unsworth, you are a cantankerous old fart who runs your mouth from time to time. You get needled by the media to talk *sugar* about a billionaire so they can get a scoop. Billionaire is triggered and labels you a pedo.
The power disparity means that nearly everyone you meet from then on has their doubts about you. You basically have to sue yo clear your name.
Imagine your a billionaire who likes to talk *sugar* on Twitter. Some jackass talks nonsense about you so you fire back. You're a giant who just crushed an ant when you were just trying to insult them. You delete the tweet but the media has already amplified the position.
The only solution is for Unsworth to sue and for an independent jury to state on the record that both of you were just talking in the heat of the moment. It's the best solution for all involved.

FTFYDidNicky Taleb actually forged an SEC document to make it look like Tesla bribed Lin Wood with 10,000 stock shares?Wow!
Court costs are not legal fee. This is likely a few hundred dollars.[/QUOTE]

You know, if you're in a bar fight, and it's someone else who threw the first punch, it doesn't really matter who's a billionaire and who isn't.
I think you may be wrong about that. I am not sure but I thought that Unsworth played a very key role in organizing a very complex rescue.

Can Elon just please stop the crazy stuff and
(1) Get Tesla sustainably profitable;
(2) Get Navigation and Summon out of Beta after 4 years;
(3) Give us the option to keep the Media Center from popping up every time I start my X;
(4) Stop wasting SW development resources on that stupid childish screen with the cowbells, whoopee cushion, etc.
(5) Finally find a fix the driver's side wind noise
?

Just proof to me twitter should be shut off
i figure in a world where Trump is allowed to attack a 16 yo kid and nothing happens calling someone a pedo guy once is fair.
kinda a dumb insult anyway. You could easily blow that off. It’s not like he explicitly stated when and where the guy did stuff.
whole thing was stupid
